Join us for our next KNIME community meetup in Zurich on Feburary 12, 2025. Using the low-code took KNIME Analytics Platform, learn how to build powerful applications by combining traditional Geospatial research with emerging AI techniques.

This so-called GeoAI combines the power of AI, machine learning, and sometimes deep learning with geospatial science. It refers to the application of AI techniques to analyze, interpret, and derive insights from geospatial data.

KNIME Analytics Platform is a free and open-source data analytics and data science tool. It allows you to build data workflows of any complexity in a no-code environment.

During this event, you will :

  • Get to know the low-code tool KNIME Analytics Platform
  • Learn the basics about Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Geospatial Analysis
  • Get an introduction to GenAI
  • Learn about a use case that combines geodata and GenAI to explore the different neighborhoods in Zurich, all without writing a single line of code.

Talk 1 - An Introduction to Geospatial Analysis with KNIME, Elisabeth Richter

Geospatial Analytics is a powerful research area as it combines traditional analytics with Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The relevance of GIS and geospatial data has emerged immensely in the last 50 years, and nowadays, GIS applications are easily accessible to everyone - just think of applications like Google Maps!
In this talk, we will introduce GIS and geospatial data, explain why it is relevant, and show how to build interactive geospatial applications in a low-code environment using KNIME Analytics Platform.

Talk 2 - ZurichLens: AI-Powered Neighborhood Insights, Babak Khalilvandian

Moving to a new neighborhood often involves dealing with many unknown challenges. Questions about transportation, garbage collection, pest control, or even vandalism can make the decision overwhelming.
That’s where ZurichLens comes in! Powered by KNIME's Geospatial Analytics and AI Extensions, ZurichLens analyzes real citizen reports from the Züri wie neu portal and other complementary geospatial data. It examines these reports, their locations, dates, and content to uncover spatial relationships and delve deeper into the issues for richer insights. The results are presented through an interactive dashboard, with maps providing a clear spatial understanding of what's happening and where. Additionally, users can enter a specific neighborhood or address in the city to receive an assessment report highlighting key issues and offering tailored advice for that area.
Throughout this Data App, GenAI enhances the experience by performing textual analysis, generating smooth and understandable reports, and ensuring the content is personalized to the user's needs.
